Abstract
A method of measuring vibration on an operational device. The method includes providing an operational device with a control unit and a vibration sensor having a three axis accelerometer, a digital signal processor, and a communications transceiver. The digital signal processor takes the raw vibration data for each axis of the three axis accelerometer and applies a weighting function to the vibration data for each individual axis. Then stress level data associated with the vehicle operator is used to calculate the instantaneous contributions of the filtered data to the stress level data of the operator to determine instantaneous stress level data that has accumulated over a fixed time interval. After the fixed time interval, the digital signal processor calculates an increase of the stress level of the operator during the time interval to create stress data that is transmitted through a communications transceiver for display.
Description
This invention relates to a method of measuring vibration. More specifically, this invention relates to a method of measuring vibration on an operational device using a vibration sensor having a three axis accelerometer.
Vibration contributes to operator fatigue and can cause or contribute to work related injury and health problems. Typically, vibration sensors are mounted onto a vehicle in order to determine the stresses that an operator undergoes during operation of a vehicle or heavy equipment. Vibration measurement requires some measurement of displacement, velocity, or acceleration. In a high frequency vibration, acceleration measurement is more sensitive than displacement or velocity and hence, better suited for measuring vibration in a vehicle or machinery. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) has also set forth rules for measuring vibration in vehicles that require translation acceleration measurement. Typically, this acceleration is measured by using an accelerometer that works in association with the control unit of the device.
Present vibration sensors are ineffective at measuring the true effect vibrations have on a vehicle operator. Traditionally, the more sensitive the vibration sensor is then typically the larger the bandwidth of the outgoing information thus causing an increase size in equipment and cost.
Thus, it is the principal object of the present invention to provide a method of measuring vibration on an operational device that increases the accuracy of the determined vibration and stress levels.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a vibration sensor that reduces the size and cost of equipment needed to detect vibration and stress level data.
These and other objects, features, or advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the specification and claims.
The method of measuring vibration on an operational device includes providing an operational device having a control unit in communication with a vibration sensor that is comprised of a three axis accelerometer, a digital signal processor and a communications transceiver. The method further involves determining vibration data with the three axis accelerometer and filtering that vibration data with a weighting function within the digital signal processor. With consideration of stress level data associated with an operator, stress data is calculated in three separate blocks. This stress data information is then transmitted through the communication transceiver.
The DSP 28 takes input data 32 from the three axis accelerometer 26 and processes the information to provide an output signal 34 to send to the communication transceiver. Within the DSP 28 the vibration data for each axis within the input signal 32 is separated into a plurality of data streams 35 that are filtered with a weighting function 36 that matches human sensitivity for each of the three axes provided by the three axis accelerometer 26. The DSP 28 then takes the filtered vibration data, or filtered data, and calculates the instantaneous contribution of the filtered data 38 to the stress level of the operator 18 to determine a stress calculation 40 in each axis and to determine instantaneous stress level data 42. The instantaneous stress level data 42 then accumulates over a fixed time interval 44. Based upon this accumulated instantaneous stress level data 42 the DSP 28 calculates the increase to the operator stress level for that time interval to provide accumulated data, or stress data 46, that is transmitted through the output signal 34 to the communications transceiver 30. The communication transceiver then sends the accumulated data to another device for further processing, storage, or display.
In operation, the method of measuring vibration of an operational device 10 comprises the steps of providing an operational device 10 having a control unit 12 in communication with a vibration sensor 14. The vibration sensor 14 is comprised of a three axis accelerometer 26, a digital signal processor 28, and a communication transceiver 30. The next step involves determining vibration data for each axis with the three axis accelerometer 26 and implementing this vibration data within an input signal 32. The next step requires filtering the vibration data with an input signal 32 for each axis with a weighting function 36 to create filtered data 38. During this time, stress level data is determined that is associated with the operator and the DSP 28 calculates the instantaneous contributions of the filtered data 38 to the stress level data of the operator 18 to determine instantaneous stress level data 42. The method then involves accumulating the instantaneous stress level data over a fixed time interval 44 and calculating an increase of stress level of the operator 18 during the time interval to create stress data 46 for each axis. Thus, the stress data is separated into three series of non overlapping blocks that form a single output signal 34 that is sent to the communication transceiver 30. In a preferred embodiment the stress data 46 within each block is represented only by a number thus minimizing the outgoing bandwidth of the output signal 34. The final step of the method involves transmitting the stress data 46 through the communications transceiver 32 to another device for processing, storage, display or the like.
Thus, a method is presented wherein raw vibration data from a three axis accelerometer is separated into three continuous data streams 35 that represent the instantaneous stress on the operator for each of the three axes. By accumulating the instantaneous stress level data over a fixed time interval the bandwidth needed to transmit the resulting stress data to the communication transceiver is reduced. This is accomplished by breaking the continuous streams of stress data 46 into three series of non overlapping blocks. The data within each block is accumulated into a single number which is then transmitted to a receiving device. As a time interval for each block increases, the rate at which the accumulated data is sent, decreases. A time range interval in the range of 0.1 to 10 seconds would be typical and requires little bandwidth to transmit. Thus, at the very least all of the stated objectives have been met.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the device without the parting from the spirit in scope of this invention. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.
